"Master of all the written, archaeological, and epigraphic sources, ever alert to fine nuances in political developments and architectural elements, and possessed of a writing style in which elegant simplicity and clarity is often elivened by a rhetorical flourish. Burns has proved himself a chronicler worthy of a city that for three thousand years drew to itself those who made the history of the region."
- Jerome Murphy-O'Connor, Revue Biblique
"Ross Burns wears his massive learning lightly and the book will be a lively and enlightening guide for anyone contemplating taking the Road to Damascus."
- Professor Sam Lieu, Macquarie University, Australia
"Burns has succeeded outstandingly in providing a coherent and fascinating survey of Damascene history, interesting for the art historian, archaeologist, and historian alike ... highly readable ... plausible and attractively written account of both the Hellenistic and Roman periods ... with passion and an excellent eye for detail ... a fluent and interesting account of the urban history right up to the brink of modern Syria."
- Antti Lampinen, Arctos
